I like it. I'm in. I wonder if the Asian guy supposed to be the genderbent version of Sam from TR2013 and Lara ends up saving him at the end.

Per Wiki, Sam has been renamed Sophie? Asian guy seems like he's either a combination of Roth/the ship captain or Jonah.

I feel like I've seen this movie at least 20 times before.
They should have leaned harder on the survival aspect of the reboot's story and not gone with an earth threatening problem to solve.

Looks like straight to DVD crap, I really can't believe Walton Goggins is in it.

Whenever a movie has an apocalyptic threat i immediately tune out. Marvel movies are really bad about this. Films can have stakes much more meaningful than 'end of the world', particularly ones personal to the characters and/or audience.

The only characters allowed to have "blow up the world" as their motivation are bishounen JRPG antagonists with mommy issues. And even that's a stretch.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The movie adaptation should have just focused on the game narrative's transformation of one posh archaeology grad into history's greatest killing machine the second she picks up a compound bow.

That's not far off the plot of the original game, mind you. It starts out as "find these artifacts" and you run away from a dinosaur, next thing you know there's a corporation headed by survivors of Atlantis trying to take over the world with an ancient super weapon.

Tom Raider's all just old pulp adventure stuff updated for (originally) the 90s, so of course it gets a bit silly. Lara Croft is a female Doc Savage.

Y'know, thinking about Doc Savage, there is someone who hews pretty close to that nowadays and it's Dominic Toretto and his crew in Fast Five and beyond. Which funnily enough obviously has The Rock in it, who is supposed to be Doc Savage because of his size, but there's more to Doc than just being a tall buff dude.

Some context for this one, from the co-writer of The Lobster

http://www.indiewire.com/2018/01/pity-trailer-sundance-dark-comedy-1201915948/

quote:

The story is simple, following a nameless everyman, played by comedian Yannis Drakopoulos, who revels in unhappiness, lives for being sad, and relishes being, well, pitied. His life is made all the better — worse? — when his wife falls into a coma, a terrible situation that comes complete with plenty of sadness and whole heaps of pity. It’s kind of ideal. But can it possibly last?

Because she looks like a child in the face. It's just such a bizarre difference of appearance from Angelina Jolie as Tomb Raider.

Didn't look much like a child to me in Ex Machina. Which is good because she did full frontal nudity in that one.

Also she's married to Michael Fassbender.

I see you're good at Google Image Search. I was specifically referring to how she looks in this new Tomb Raider trailer.

And yes, she does look like a child compared to Jolie as Lara Croft.

They both look like adults, it's that one is more conventionally feminine/more explicitly objectified. New Raider looks pedestrian at best, but it's clear they're not going for voluptuous ultra-vixen/Bond lady with this incarnation.
